New Babylon We Made

By the walls of the monument thereMemorial to the greatness of manThey lay silent of voiceOf what we truly areTrading flesh for mountainsOf steel and wireWe made our choiceAnd forget what we have lostUpon the ground levelSo small beneath the wallsThere walks a crooked bodied manWho is one who was tossedOut into the streetsLeft to fend for himselfBut he paid the costFor the city to ascendNow his body is bentTo pay for the sinsOf the menWho paid to build new BabylonTo show their dominionThey own the steel and concrete fortressesMonuments of vitalityOf the world we madeWe forget all the Gods we forbadeFrom being seenFor the cities reach higherThan the skies

Welcome

I am a poet who has both been published and self published. All work on this blog is all copyright Alex Ness. While I make very little money from my work I am technically a professional. Measuring by the hours I've written I am professional. My goal is to share my work with as many people that can read it, as far as the internet may reach with it. I hope if you are moved you will share this blog with others, and perhaps buy my books.

Whatever the result, thank you for viewing this blog. I cannot express how greatly I appreciate the many people, from many places upon the earth, who have visited.
